( I also learnt that when doing our essays to try not to repeat in our structures also to send our paragraphs and what we are focusing on to Phil and check the essay example. To start of with a broad big understanding of or topic and then get more and more specific to where in the text it s relevant etc..) 

On a side note not sure of its importance at the moment but i learnt about Perlin Noise which is procedural content generation. This can be used in code like binary or even animation It is a two layer which s made by going between and combining two sets of random points. Once this has been made you can change frequency and intensity o each layer while Maya for example plays the animation. Its also used in games and films it is a powerful algorithm.
